I’m sure this won’t end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn’t planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.

I think it's fait to just call it Twitter and not "x" or "twitter/x" or "x social" or "Twitter but actually x"

X will never stick 😅

He tried to do this 20 years ago with PayPal. This is just a midlife crisis, no grand plan.
